Our car does OK... not nearly at fast as Bryan TTM's car was. We have had best of 8.90 at 150 mph. In that picture, it carried the front wheels about 100'.

Hijack mode off.

 

Sorry !! I couldn't help the MOPAR thing. And by looking at my last couple of posts I can't even spell Harley.

 

Well scg, Thanks for the compliment. I'm not particularly anxious to re-paint, but I have never been 100% sold on blue scoots. It's a beautiful paint job, but I've always been partial to black or red scoots. In fact, every bike I've owned, and I've owned close to 20, have been red or black. Now that I think about it, I did own briefly a emerald green Low Rider.
The rear bag bars are coming off this weekend and then I'll decide on the front.
I hesitate to say this for fear of bad luck, but I haven't dropped a bike since 1965 when I went from a 350 Yamaha to a 750 Norton. Wasn't used to that big a bike and only weighed 140lbs. Fortunatly it went down in soft dirt, so no harm done.
Now I'm going to go knock on wood and throw salt over my sholder for good luck. I'm an old baseball player and still superstitious.

What times are you running? I love the picture. Never mind I found it in the above post! Nice ride.

 

I add nothing of consequence,but I add nontheless. I've laid the bike down 2x in the garage and once a uturn. Slow deliberate moves, and purely op error, but withouth the guards, I 'm done forl

 

Marsh,

Thanks for the compliment. Luxury Rich Red, just in case!!

Beeracuda,

Nice red ride! Back in the day...!...... I used to have a 1975 Vega Hatch, in Chevy Orange!, that had a Motion Performance 350 small block that used to run low 9's. Usually 9:36s @ around 140+/-.

Reaper,

That's an awesome looking ride. I'd be scared to sit on it w/o the bars. Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa!

 

Guys, sooner or later your going to drop them. It happens to everyone if you own and ride one. There are many Harley riders who have thrown their back out trying to stop that fall to the pavement. Guards are your friend.

 

Yes, it do look goooood without em, but I lean toward the advise from jcbpa. Haven't gone down yet (knock on wood) but I'm not naive enough to think it couldn't happen....

 

glad i had mine on last weekend as i was doing a tight slow turn and went over...scuffed the crash bars a little

 

Well I have to admit that mine is black but I have seen a few blue bikes lately that look really good. As for the not dropping... I had NEVER dropped a street bike before and when it was on it's way down my stomach was going with it.
Like the farmer said when the cow died... "Gee she never did that before". Just kiddin' ya, your bike is going to look goo no mater what you do.
